  1. Question Split 3/32" filler rod into two ~0.046" rods?

    I have some excess 3/32 aluminum and steel filler rods and wanted to ask you gurus if any 'ol' shop trick exists that makes it easy to split a 3/32" thick filler rod in half so you get 2 ~0.046" thick rods? (Thereby, resulting in 2 thinner filler rods)?

    The filler rods that are thinner than 1/16 make it much easier for me to weld on thin walled tube, so just trying to make use of what I have..
